From: Zhi Yong Wu <wu...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Sending the patchset is mainly intended to get some comments and void the wrong development direction.
The patchset is used to qomify -netdev, but it introduce one infrastructure for host devices based on raw Class and Object, not qdev. So they are not related with DeviceClass and DeviceState. patch #1 introduce one new class and object for host devices. patch #2 introduce one net host device class and object. Note: the code changes still have some issues, but it doesn't affect that we talk with its infrastructure. Zhi Yong Wu (9): hostdev: introduce the infrastructure for host device model net: introduce one net host device class net: adjust net common part for qomify -netdev net: adjust nic init API net: adjust dump init API net: qomify -netdev user net: qomify -netdev socket net: qomify -netdev vde net: qomify -netdev tap & -netdev bridge include/qemu/hostdev.h | 128 ++++++++++++++++++ net.c | 153 +++++++++++++++++++++-- net.h | 28 ++++ net/dump.c | 8 +- net/dump.h | 3 +- net/slirp.c | 42 ++++++- net/slirp.h | 7 +- net/socket.c | 38 +++++- net/socket.h | 4 +- net/tap.c | 64 +++++++++- net/tap.h | 8 +- net/vde.c | 34 +++++- net/vde.h | 4 +- qom/Makefile | 2 +- qom/hostdev.c | 333 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ vl.c | 12 +- 16 files changed, 821 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/qemu/hostdev.h create mode 100644 qom/hostdev.c -- 1.7.6
